MSU Billings would like to take a moment to provide you an update regarding the ADVISORY from May 29, 2013.

Since our last ADVISORY there has been another reported sexual assault incident in
the Billings community on July 2, 2013. The nature of this incident is similar to
those that prompted the initial ADVISORY. At present, Billings Police are still working
on those sexual assault cases as well as the most recent incident. Billings PD Chief,
Rich St. John, held a formal press conference on Friday, July 5, 2013 for the community
at large. The press conference can be viewed online via the Billings Gazette or at www.msubillings.edu/advisory.

In an effort to keep all students apprised of the situation MSU Billings is formally
issuing an ADVISORY UPDATE for all students regarding the reported sexual assault
incidents. Again, the Billings Police Department is working to resolve the reported
incidents and have disclosed that the reported suspect is a white male standing roughly
5’5”. The suspect has light colored hair, a thin build, and is approximately 25-35
years in age.

If you have pertinent information regarding this suspect contact University Police
at 657-2147.

MSU Billings would like to remind students to be aware of their surroundings at all
times. Below is a brief list of things you can do to stay safe.

Don’t leave windows and doors in your home or vehicle unlocked.

Don’t disclose personal information to individuals you are not familiar with. This
includes social media outlets like Facebook and Twitter.

Have a safety buddy, someone you can call for a ride or for help, and create a code
word or phrase that means “Come help me out of this” or “I’m in trouble.”

Before going out tell a friend where you’re going and when you’ll be back. Let them
know if your plans change.

Never leave your drink alone or with someone you don’t know. Date rape drugs are easy
to use. And men are just as vulnerable as women.

Don’t take drinks or anything else from strangers, even food.

Don’t offer rides to people you don’t know.

Above all trust your instincts!
